Too Much Oil In Pan Aircraft Carrier Joke
Text content
What happens when you put too much oil in your pan.
Overview
This is an absurdist humorous meme image. The top of the image displays text reading 'What happens when you put too much oil in your pan.' Below the text, a cast iron frying pan sits on a stovetop filled with an excessive amount of cooking oil. A miniature model of a military aircraft carrier is floating in the oil, while edited small military helicopter models appear to be flying above the pan over the kitchen counter, with their reflections visible on the surface of the oil. The joke relies on absurdity, framing the excess cooking oil as a deep enough body of water to support an entire naval carrier strike group, poking fun at the common cooking mistake of using far too much oil when frying.
